The 1Kg bottle also has a label made from non-fossil fuel PE from UPM Raflatac and the ISCC certi- fied plastic film is produced by using sustainable resources to replace an equivalent amount of fossil resources in the production process (mass bal- ance approach).
This is the first use of this label in Australia and New Zealand.
CLOSED LOOP COLLECTION
The Nespresso Curby Coffee Capsule Collection Program took out silver in this subcategory with gold going to Nestlé Australia for the KitKat pro- totype recycled content wrapper.
The 30 per cent recycled content KitKat prototype wrapper is an Aus- tralian first, created to demonstrate
the potential for advanced recy-
cling in Australia
using Australian post-consumer soft plastics.
The prototype wrapper was created by a coalition of companies in the Australian value chain who brought their individual expertise together to process collected waste soft plastic, convert it to oil, and produce Austra- lia’s first soft plastic food wrapper made with recycled content.
The coalition with a shared vision includes:
1. REDcycle and CurbCycle, who collected households’ soft plastic waste, some from REDcycle in-store bins and some from the kerbside col- lection trial (conducted by Nestlé, iQRenew and Curbcycle on the NSW central coast). 2. iQ Renew sorted the collected soft plastics and created a
processed engineered feedstock. 3. Licella converted the plas- tic to oil using their Australian-developed Cat-HTR advanced recycling technology. 4. Viva Energy Australia refined the synthetic oil. 5. LyondellBasell made food grade polypropylene. 6. Taghleef Industries created a metalised film. 7.Amcorprintedandcreatedthewrap- per and finally, 8. Nestlé wrapped the KitKat – keeping it fresh and
safe to eat.
The KitKat prototype wrapper pro-
gram has showcased what is possible collaboratively and has been sup- ported by a call to arms to industry to get involved and on-going advocacy continuing to spread the word and build support for advanced recycling in the region. ■
